PREFACE 


The  present  publication  forms  part  of  a 
more  extensive  unpublished  piece  of  work 
undertaken  a  number  of  years  ago,  and  will 
now  serve  as  a  supplement  to  F.  K.  Walter's 
"Abbreviations  and  Technical  Terms  used 
in  Book  Catalogues  and  Bibliographies," 
published  in  Boston  in  1912. 

The  original  manuscript  was  planned 
somewhat  differently,  and  included  library 
terms,  now  published  separately.  Changes 
in  the  arrangement  were  made  necessary  in 
order  to  make  it  uniform  with  the  work  "it 
now  supplements.  Terms  already  in  Mr. 
Walter's  work,  are,  with  a  few  exceptions, 
omitted  here. 

In  the  compilation  numerous  works  on 
bibliography,  printing,  and  binding  have 
been  consulted,  as  well  as  periodicals  relat- 
ing to  these  subjects. 

Several  foreign  librarians  have  given  me 
their  kind  assistance  in  cases  where  I  was 
unable  to  find  the  terms.  Thus  a  number  of 
Dutch  terms  were  supplied  by  Dr.  H.  Greve 
and  Mr.  R.  van  der  Meulen,  Italian  by  Dr. 
Eugenio  Rossi,  Spanish  by  Mrs.  Figarola 
Caneda,  and  Swedish  by  Dr.   Isak  Collijn. 

Mr.  F.  K.  Walter,  who  is  the  compiler  of 
the  Latin  list,  a  field  left  untouched  by  me, 


iviGC52227 


has  given  valuable  assistance  in  the  final 
preparation  of  the  work  by  contributions, 
especially  of  French  and  German  abbrevia- 
tions and  terms.  To  him  and  to  the  above 
mentioned  librarians  I  hereby  express  my 
sincere  thanks.  Their  contributions  have 
added  to  what  there  is  of  value  in  the  work. 
For  its  shortcomings  I  am  solely  responsible.

LATIN 


SOME  LATIN  ABBREVIATIONS  AND  TERMS 
OCCASIONALLY  USED  IN  BOOK  CATA- 
LOGS AND  BIBLIOGRAPHIES 

By  FRANK   KELLER  WALTER 

This  list  supplements  the  brief  one  in  Abbreviations 
and  Technical  Terms  Used  in  Book  Catalogs  and  in 
Bibliographies  (Boston  Book  Co.,  1912).  Like  its 
predecessor,  it  is  confined  to  abbreviations  and  terms 
used  in  the  descriptions  of  books  and  again  like  its 
predecessor,  it  includes  such  expressions  as  actually 
are  used,  irrespective  of  their  consistency  or  philo- 
logical propriety.  The  number  of  Latin  terms  which 
the  beginner  will  find  in  the  ordinary  trade  and 
national  bibliographies  and  in  current  catalogs  of 
modern  books  is  relatively  small.  The  cataloger, 
order  clerk,  or  reference  assistant  whose  work  lies 
even  occasionally  with  books,  prints  or  manuscripts  of 
the  18th  century  or  earlier,  will  find  a  different  state 
of  affairs.  Since  Latin  was  the  universal  language 
of  the  educated  man,  the  earlier  general  bibliographies 
and  catalogs  of  libraries  were  usually  written  in  Latin 
and  a  profusion  of  Latin  terms  was  used  in  the  cata- 
logs of  booksellers.  Even  as  late  as  1838,  Hain  felt 
it  advisable  to  use  Latin  throughout  in  his  Reper- 
torium  Bibliographicum .  Unfortunately,  there  was  lit- 
tle or  no  agreement  as  to  exact  connotation  of  terms  or 
as  to  form  of  abbreviation,  and  in  many  cases  the  con- 
text offers  little  or  no  help.  The  same  is  true  even 
today  of  many  continental  booksellers,  some  of 
whom  take  their  entries  directly  or  at  second-hand 
from  bibliographers  like  Hain  or  Bauer,  while  some 
strike  out  boldly  into  systems  of  abbreviations  of 
their  own.  Both  in  the  old  and  in  modern  bibliog- 
raphies the  meanings  as  well  as  the  spellings  are  post- 
classical  and,  in  many  cases,  not  to  be  found  in  any  of 
the  standard  Latin  dictionaries.  The  desire  to  avoid 
monotony  by  the  use  of  synonyms  of  doubtful  accu- 
racy and  expressions  of  only  slightly  different  mean- 
ings adds  to  the  confusion. 

There  is  no  attempt  at  completeness  in  this  rough 
list  and  many  terms  have  been  included  which  may 

200 


LATIN 

seem  unnecessary  to  the  connoisseur  while  others 
have  been  excluded  which  may  now  and  then  con- 
front one  in  unexpected  places.  This  has  been  un- 
avoidable since  there  could  be  no  completeness  short 
of  a  formal  technical  dictionary  and  the  selection  has 
been  made  to  depend  on  actual  difficulties  likely  to  be 
met.  Hain,  as  the  source  of  many  later  works  and  of 
thousands  of  fugitive  entries  and  references,  has  re- 
ceived rather  more  attention  than  many  of  the  others 
and  it  is  hoped  that  a  fairly  full  list  of  terms  frequently 
used  by  that  indefatigable,  though  sometimes  incon- 
sistent, bibliographer  has  been  included.  Many  terms 
and  abbreviations  in  books  used  in  the  former  list  like 
Cim,  Kleemeier,  Power,  Rouveyre,  though  previously 
excluded  as  of  little  use  in  a  beginner's  list  have  been 
inserted  here. 

Three  cautions  are  necessary  in  the  use  of  any  list 
like  this  (1)  There  is  no  consistent  principle  followed 
in  many  bibliographies  and  though  p.  may  be  the 
usual  abbreviation  for  pagina,  one  is  quite  as  likely 
to  find  pag.  used  in  the  same  work.  (2)  The  plural 
is  usually  formed  by  doubling  the  final  letter  of 
the  abbreviation,  e.g., 

p.  Page;  pp.  Pages. 

lit.  litera.  Letter;    litt.  literae,  Letters. 

(3)  The  same  abbreviation  is  often  used  indis- 
criminately for  both  singular  and  plural,  e.g.,  s.  for 
both  signatura  and  signatures  as  in  Hain. 

It  is  impracticable  to  list  here  all  the  books  con- 
sulted. Among  those  from  which  considerable  mate- 
rial was  obtained  are:  Beck,  C,  Jahrhiich  der  Biicher- 
preise,  v.  1—7,  1906-13  (Lpzg.,  1907-14);  Bauer, 
J.  J.,  Bibliotheca  Librorum  Rariorum  Universalis, 
6  V.  (Nurnberg,  1770-74);  Caspar,  C.  N.  Book  trade 
bibliography  and  vocabulary  of  technical  terms. 
(Milwaukee,  1892);  Cim,  Albert,  LeLn're,  5  v.  (Par., 
1908);  Copinger,  W.  A.,  Supplement  to  Hams 
Repertorium  Bibliographicum,  2  v.  (Lond.,  1895- 
1902);  Catalogue  de  la  Bibliotheque  de  feu  M.  J. 
D ecaisne  {Pavis,  1883);  Dobbs,  A.  E.  Abbreviations, 
British  and  foreign,  {Lond.  1911);  Faulmann,  Carl, 
Das  Bitch  der  Schrift  (Vienna,  1880) ;  Hain,  Ludovic, 
RepsrtoriumBibliographicum,2v.  (Stuttgart,  1826-38); 
Pellechet,  M.,  Catalogue  General  des  Incunables  des 
Bibliotheques  Publiques  de  France,  v.  1-2  (Paris,  1897) ; 
Rouveyre,  Edouard,  Connaissances  Necessaires  a  un 
Bibliophile.  10  v.  5th  ed.  (Paris,  1899).  Valuable  aid 
both  in  the  way  of  material  and  definition  has  been 
received   from   many  of   the   more   general   treatises
